The Relationship

Two meta-analytic procedures are used to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and selected withdrawal cognitions. Moderating influences not found in previous integrative research were identified by controlling for the influence of a Large sample-size outlier and a target of behavioral intention, i.e., intention to stay versus, in tendon to leave. Findings for 49 studies indicate previous integrative models of turnover by Hom, Caranikas-Walker, Prussia, and Griffeth, and of Tett and Meyer should be altered to reflect context (civilian versus military) and intention target (staying versus leaving) moderators but not an intention to turnover or a moderator of withdrawal cognition as indicated by Tett and Meyer in 1993. The adequacy of measures of current intention to leave is discussed regarding their consistency with recent intention theory. General implications for meta-analytic research are discussed with regard to accounting for sample-size outliers.

The Relationship

Abstract Mesocarp hull color is the current standard to estimate digging date and peanut (Arachis hypogaea, L.) maturity with acceptable yield and grade. Subjectivity of pod color and pod placement on a color chart may give a false indication of when to dig peanuts. The objective was to determine if peg strength could be used to predict pod maturity, digging date, and resultant peanut yield. Peanut peg strength was collected for two years (2011 and 2012) on three peanut cultivars (Georgia-06G, Georgia-09B, and Tifguard), at multiple plant dates (2012 only) and multiple harvest dates to determine the relationship between peg strength versus pod maturity, peanut loss, and peanut yield. Peg strength was determined using an electronic force gage that would measure peak force. Average peg strength was different for all three cultivars with Georgia-06G having the greatest average peg strength followed by Georgia-09B, and Tifguard. In general, peanut yields were greater at early plant and harvest dates and decreased with time. Conversely, peanut pod loss was lower with early plant and harvest dates but increased with later harvest dates. There was a strong positive linear relationship between peg strength and peanut yield for each cultivar. However, there was a relatively small difference with peg strength values between the maximum and minimum peanut yield. There was no relationship between peg strength and mesocarp color (pod maturity, R2 = 0.007). Small differences in peg strength and the non-relationship between peg strength and pod maturity implies: 1) a large sample size would be needed to predict peanut yield, 2) the large sample size would increase time and manpower to determine average peg strength values, and 3) peg strength was not a valid criteria to determine pod maturity or predict digging date. Overall, peg strength may be useful to describe cultivar characteristics but may not be sufficiently robust to predict pod maturity digging date, or peanut yield.

Abstract Background Only a few studies have been carried out with a large sample size on the relationship between chronic conditions and hospitalization for COVID-19, and there is no research examining recently diagnosed conditions. Our purpose was to evaluate this association in a large sample including the older population from Europe and Israel. Methods Data from the SHARE COVID-19 Survey, a representative survey of individuals aged 50 or over residing in 27 European countries and Israel, were retrieved. Associations between recently diagnosed chronic conditions (i.e., conditions detected over the last three years) (exposure) and hospitalization due to COVID-19 (outcome) were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Results 51,514 participants on average 71.0 (SD = 9.2) years old were included. Participants with multimorbidity (i.e., two or more recently diagnosed conditions) had significantly higher odds for COVID-19 hospitalization (AOR = 3.91 [95%CI = 2.14-7.12]). Independent conditions such as lung disease (AOR = 16.94 [95%CI = 9.27-30.95]), heart disease (AOR = 3.29 [95%CI =1.50-7.21]), or cancer (AOR = 3.45 [95%CI = 1.26-9.48]), showed particularly high odds for hospitalization due to COVID-19 disease. Conclusions People with recently diagnosed diseases, and in particular those having lung disease, heart disease, or cancer were significantly more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19.

Response To Exercise

The chapter Heart Rate Response to Exercise reviews the studies performed to estimate a patient’s maximum predicted heart rate. While the commonly used formula (220 – age), developed in 1971, is easy to remember, it underestimates the actual maximum heart rate in older persons. Studies of large sample size have found the maximum heart rate to be relatively independent of sex and physical fitness but to incrementally decline with age. The decrease with age is less than 1 beat per minute per year, however. A more accurate and recommended formula is [(208) – (0.7)(age)] as developed by Tanaka and colleagues.

Explicit Expressions

A generating function technique is used to determine the probability that the deviation between two empirical distributions drawn from the same population lies within a given band a specified number of times. We also treat the asymptotic problem of very large sample size, and obtain explicit expressions when the relative number of failures is very small or very large.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating roles of organizational spiritual values in the relationship between organizational cycinism and job satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach The sample was selected by using a convenience sampling method. The sample included in 472 employees from different sectors such as higher education, banking, energy and manufacturing industry. Participants filled in organizational cycinism scale, job satisfaction scale and organizational spirituality scale. Comfirmatory factor analysis and structural equation method were used to detect the direction and level of the relationships between parameters. Findings According to the mediating analysis findings, organizational spirituality is the partial reason for the association between behavioral cycinism and job satisfaction. Organizational spirituality is also the full reason for the association between affective cycinism and job satisfaction and the relationship between cognitive cycinism and job satisfaction. This means that organizational spirituality decreases the negative effects of organizational cycinism on job satisfaction. Research limitations/implications This research is not free from limitations just like others. First, the sampling was limited with only four sectors. In future studies, it can be favorable to take data from all other sectors. The second limitation was that organizational spirituality was the only factor that was used to determine the relationships among the three dimensions of organizational cynicism and job satisfaction. The last limitation was regarding the sample size. Although, sample size that was used in this research was enough to conduct all statistical analyses, extended sample size could be used in future studies. Practical implications The results of this research may benefit various stakeholders. While determining organizational spirituality elements in an organization, all the stakeholders’ voices should be included, and their values should be taken into consideration. In addition to this, all institutional employees should be trained about spirituality that exists in the organization, so that all employees will develop a strong bond with other employees and the organization. Moreover, organizational spirituality is closely related to organizational justice. If manager wants organizational spirituality to take root in the institution and eliminate the negativities, it is absolutely necessary to apply organizational justice in each and every matter within the organization. Originality/value There have been no studies exploring the mediating effects of organizational spirituality on the organizational cynicism and job satisfaction relationship. Therefore, this paper could be accepted as original.
